Finding the right piece of land to build a home that will forever change a family’s life can take years, but that’s where every dream begins.

For nearly 20 years, my focus at Habitat for Humanity of Omaha has been finding those places — the ones that will one day hold a front porch, a kitchen table, a child’s playroom.

It’s not the kind of work that makes headlines — but without it, nothing else happens. Behind every Habitat Omaha home is a long process that most people never see. But it’s exactly where your support quietly shows up first.

Every home starts with a place to build. When you give to Habitat Omaha, you’re building a stronger Omaha with homes for families that help breathe life into neighborhoods — new and old — across our community.
